Participation is for registered Republicans only. A voter may register or re-registered as a Republican on the day of the convention. After voting in the preference poll, the Republicans are encouraged to participate in their District Conventions which will commence at 7:30 pm.

Tuesday 6 March - Saturday 24 March 2012: 24 of 27 delegates to the Republican National Convention are bound to presidential contenders based on the results of the voting in today's District Conventions. In addition, each District chooses delegates to the Alaska State Republican Convention. [Rules of the Alaska Republican Party, Article V. Section 15: (g)(4), (7), (9)]

  • 24 at-large National Convention delegates are to be proportionally bound to presidential contenders according to the statewide vote.
    • Beginning with the candidate who received the most votes, multiply [the percentage of votes received] by [24 National Convention Delegates] and round any remainder up to the next whole number. Repeat for the next highest vote getter until all 24 delegates are allocated.
    • If a candidate drops out before the State Convention, the national delegates apportioned to that candidate are re-apportioned non-pledged.
